Updating the Macro for changes in the Estimate Template
Issue/Symptom/Question
I have an import file that has Macros. How can I update the Macro if I make changes to the file format by changing around columns and rows?
Environment
Estimate Import file
Microsoft Excel
Macros in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
Resolution/Fix/Answer
After formatting the spreadsheet, if the first row for the Costcodes is changed, then the Macros will need to be updated/reset
To access the Macro script,
- right-click on the Macro button and select Assign Macro...
- in the popup, select the Macro to modify and click the Edit... button
- The script will open in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)
If changing the start_detail row macro (Macro2 in screenshot above)
The 57 in the highlighted script below is the row #. If the first costcode row becomes 28, change the highlighted 57s to 28s.
If the Calculated column is changed from column G, the column G references in the Macro will need to be updated to the new column for the Calculated Column.
For example, the “G57:G1999” in the red box below would be “H57:H1999” if the calculated column becomes column H.
